ahh back in Nokia's days of glory

if Nokia ever reads this listen to your fans no one wants WP

they all want maemo and Intel based phones
it is certainly more capable than windows phone and so far it's been more successful despite no ads nothing limited countries

listen to the people Nokia

correct but certianly not more powerfull then WP from any espect and nokia had no time for maturing the meego after N9 they already on fire

Triple boot phone with symbian, meego, and wp ?

There goes an amazing platform much more worthy than Symbian

The n900 launched a few days after I bought my Nokia n97 .
N900 is a way more capable device .
*regret

I hope the CEO after Steven Elop is more considerate
and uses more than one OS

RIP Nokia. u r dead now

Its sad, a company is great only due to its talented employees, now Nokia is losing them.
Can't they handle a small team its easy cut down elop's salary.
Here goes my hopes of Linux disruption from Nokia.

So what's their Backup Plan? Can't be Symbian or Meego since they're both Dead.

16. microsoftnokiawin posted on 05 Jul 2012, 09:39

a new linux based OS maybe

i think the smarterphone OS...

Dear Mr.Stephen Elop
If Mr.Peter Chou (HTC's CEO) can use both Android and Windows phone while also using their own OS for HTC smart like Symbian Then you can use Android at the same time too. But leaving maemo os in the dust will slow you down how about making Trizen
OS arrive as an update to nokia n9 since it is the same os as meego and try your best to make windows phone the best
Good luck!!!

Should be android. But I need good hardware which only Nokia can give.

I love nokia.

Nokia N9-most innovative nokia phone ever.

17. Wiki_jaan posted on 05 Jul 2012, 11:29

n9 is last dude ... sad news

13. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 05 Jul 2012, 07:20 2

N9 is a beauty, Nokia screwed up big time. Meego has the potential to be the next Android with all the developer potential.

V all knew this.. Nokia did a bad decision by going to win7/8 phones.. if they had created
1.Myriad Alien Dalvik (android apps compatable layer)
2.apps for maemo and meego rather than windows
3.improved OS with some extra fittings like pure view,dual/quad core support etc
i bet Google would have had a tough battle with maemo and meego.. i own the third device(moreover its a "BEAST") in the pic("proud" to say it) and how many know that it can control a PS Sixaxis controller??(and android is still struggling to do it).. that too in 2009!! with an PC on par browser!!.. Nokia were very very ahead with an excellent OS..anyways wishing luck for Nokia with WP..

Once again unprofessional article from Victor.

First of all, maemo/meego team doesnt have anything to do with hardware or design. All they do, is OS software. Nokia has design team which takes care of all those cute devices. Chief designer Marko Ahtisaari and his team is currently working with wp8 devices.

What comes to that forum troll statemant "people want maemo/meego", "listen to people". Thats what Nokia is doing. Feedback and consumer requests clearly shows out, that people wants windows phones instead of meego devices like N9.
